This is a nice card Andrea. I like the way that you have linked to your source of inspiration. I know I am always flattered when people CASE (Copy and Shared Everything) my cards. One of the things I love most about Stampin' Up!- especially here in Australia is the way we inspire each other and share what we love!

Quite often with a new set I will search the internet for inspiration, CASE a couple cards and then create my own. I feel if you have linked back to the original creator of the idea/layout then you are fine as you are not claiming it as your own. You have changed it up a bit and added your own spin - you have done the right thing.

This is a lovely card. Isn't it a lovely feeling that MOST of us are all happy to share our wonderful ideas. To have someone CASE one of my cards always gives me a thrill. Sadly the minority feel threatened when someone CASES their cards, like they were going to make a million dollars from that one design. You have done a lovely job with your own inspiration to it....I love it! Might have to CASE it from you if you dont mind....

OMG! I didn't realise when I left my first comment that 'Sylvia' had taken offence at you CASING (and that's what you've done - not copied) I'd not noticed her venomous remarks here. Andrea your card is lovely. Personally I think that the changes you've made are vast improvements on the original design. I've taken a look at Sylvia's card and in no way have you breached any copyright law. I think you should leave YOUR card posted to YOUR blog. Had you not linked the post back to Sylvia's blog she would not have ever know about your card. Makes one wonder about doing the right thing really.

I think you've done a lovely job Andrea - like some other ladies have mentioned, I always think of it as a massive compliment that someone thinks I've done a nice enough job that they would want to CASE it.

Andrea, thanks for loving what you do and sharing what you love, even if your kind heart and unwillingness to cause a fuss means that you took your lovely card down from your blog. It's a shame some others don't seem able to share as graciously.
